New victory for Antello Z in Calgary

08 / 07 / 2013

Antello Z (Animo II Z) continued to perform well under Cameron Hanley. Yesterday the gelding, bred by the Melchior family, won the 1.60m class on the first day of week four of the Spruce Meadows tour. Although the 1.50m class had about fifty starters, only five made it to the jump-off. Victory went to World Cup winner Beezie Madden. The fourth place was for Nick Dello Joio on Carlos VHP Z (Chellano Z), the former horse of Nicola Philippaerts, bred by the late Guy De Schuymer. Over 1.50m there was also a fifth place for Gitano (ex-Chico Z, by Caretano Z) under Frederico Fernandez. Chico Z was born at the Smolders family. During this week there was a seventh place for Chill R Z (by Chellano Z, breeder Ludo Tielen) under Charlie Jayne and for the 9-yr-old mare New Idol Z (by Nelson Z, breeder Bekkers) under Jill Henselwood.
